I changed my rear springs a year ago and I did not replace the bolt and have had no issues.

I just found information on the internet about how to do and didn't see any one mention this. Albeit a workshop manual will have more detail in it.

I can't see why you should have to replace them. It could be because the end of the threads and top of bolt get rusty and can get damaged when removing them.
